I hate the budget mess in California completely FUBARing public education...our district is forcing schools to go into 'overflow' because they have pink-slipped so many teachers. This means that each classroom just went from 30/1 to 34/1. This also means that overflow students usually have a very high mobility rate because they are bused all around the district and/or are late transfers. Once a spot opens up at a closer school, the parents pull them from one school to transfer. My classroom alone has loss/gained 8 students since the beginning of January.
Sure, I get paid more for the overflow students, but my classroom is packed, short on supplies, books in my classroom library are disappearing as the kids move, and these new students are far below academic standards; two of these kids read below a 3rd grade level in 5th grade. It takes 2-3 weeks to get a student enrolled in the READ 180 intervention class, so it is impossible to help these kids dramatically before state testing.
RANT:
All the people who argue for school/teacher accountability, how is it fair or accurate to punish me as a teacher or label my school as "Failing" when when these new students do not perform "Proficient" on the California Standardized Assessment in April? Seriously, is it accurate or rational to expect me to get these low students to grade level proficiency in six weeks and if I don't my school goes into "program improvement"?
Yeah, the system as a whole is a mess.

If anyone is to blame for the mess of public education......it's the state governments.
Our system is overcrowding our schools simply because they want to build one BIG grade school to put them all in, so, make the kids miserable, upset the parents so they'll vote for a new school. New school means grant money, which means the administration can skim off it. They aren't fooling anyone.

Public education is dumm.
I have a leak in my roof.
Better try to fix this yourself or call a roofer ASAP! Last thing you want is mold starting to grow...then you'll have a big problem

I did a temporary fix today...I'll find out tomorrow when it starts raining, if it worked. If not, I'll be calling a roofer first thing.

Been trying to arrange something for two weeks to now be told it's not possible.

Perhaps ironically - the term 'hater', and 'haters gonna hate' - very misused around here to describe or refer to anyone who has a criticism of something. Having a criticism does not equal 'hate'

A ****** by any other name is still a ******.
The doucher that poses here as a "collector" & UFC "fan" is also on SF just by a different name, douching it up.

When people put down comments like "This sculpt is amateurish, nothing special about it" when they have no ____ing idea how to sculpt in the first place. Especially when it's said on someone who you know sculpted the piece is an extremely talented sculptor.

I started my period at the age of 10 long before there were any of those things. Some of it's hereditary as my mother and her mother were early starters too.

He's just mad because he's now locked in to a bad relationship and will have to pay for a gay divorce. A ban on gay marriage would have saved him this hassle.

My roof is still leaking. 
I really hope a roofer can come this week and try to fix it. So much for that damn rubber sealant.

Sanctimonious windbags who seek to impose their morals on other collectors in threads in which they have no interest. Rather than say their piece and move on, they hang around like crap on a carpet, provoking off-topic and uncivil discussion that ends up getting the thread closed.
